Depends. What default program are you loading to the robot? FIRST provides many sample code. You need to make sure you are using the correct one that matches your robot's configuration (i.e. using Jaguars in PWM mode) and make sure it is using the same PWM channel that you connected your Jaguar to. And of course, you also need to make sure your modules are plugged into the cRIO correctly (module 1: analog, module 2: digital and optionally module 3 solenoid). You also need to make sure your DB37 cable that connects the digital module to the sidecar is fixed. If you haven't heard anything about the DB37 cable, you haven't fixed it. There are many threads in the forums talking about the DB37 cable. Search for it.
